The thought of flying is really my big
dream. I totally love seeing Peter Pan flying on never land and all the cute
little fairies on the spring valleys. As defined by the dictionary, flying is
to be carried through the air by the wind or any other force in the open
atmosphere. There is no doubt that this is absolutely the dream of many,
especially the little ones.
I can remember during my childhood years,
that I am so fond of climbing and jumping off from higher platforms. I always
enjoy this kind of game even though I stumble and get hurt sometimes. Even
today, whenever I see tall buildings, I always wonder how it is like when you
are jumping off from the very top. I know it sounds suicidal but it’s not that.
I am just absolutely curious about the feeling of flying. I always wonder, how
does it feel? For me it looks like floating in the air and that idea is totally
amazing! Does it give someone the feeling of being like a flying super hero? I
even imagined myself jumping off from a 10 feet high building pretending like
Superman. Sounds crazy, but it is only a simple imagination that I would never
dare to do.
In my 19 years of existence I have already
tried travelling on places by buses and even on seas by boats, but I have
really never tried travelling inside a powered fixed-wing aircraft that is
propelled forward by thrust from a jet engine or what we all simply call the
Airplane. The idea of traveling on the blue arena of air above together with
the snowy white fluffy cotton balls that lies 20,000 feet or more above the
solid ground gives me the chills of excitement and eagerness. It is just like
the feeling “Woah, finally I am closer to my dreams!” and it makes me want to
sing “For the first time in forever!” We all human know that the closest way
for us to fly is by riding on a plane since we do not own wings. Thank God
people had already invented that aircraft and thank goodness to this coming
field trip that I’d be able to travel with the clouds. As far as I can recall,
when I am looking back at some old photographs of my elder sister, I always
envied her for having a chance of touring inside the airport during her kinder
days. She even went inside the airplane, sat on one of the seats and the plane
went round and round on circles of the airport’s vicinity. Whenever I see
airport scenarios on television and movies I always get curious on the
processes, the dos and don’ts and the significant things that should always be remembered.
I have asked and gathered information from people I know, particularly members
of my family, who had an experience in travelling on an airplane. According to
them, the airplane ride is one scary adventure especially that they have a phobia
called acrophobia or the medical explanation for extreme or irrational fear of
heights, particularly when someone is mainly high up. Luckily, I don’t have
this kind of phobia but I rather love the comfy feeling of being on a high
platform looking over the beautiful wide horizon. Aside from that wonderful
feeling of floating on high above the sky, my auntie told me about her first
time experience riding on a plane wherein she had a terrible experience when
she almost felt like her ears popped during take-off and landing. This is because
of the change in cabin pressure in the air. It just means that yours ears will
feel like it was blocked. With all of these few shared experiences from their
first plane ride, I have already listed my expectations.
So now, let me give you my list of
expectations on my first ever flight:
1. I’ll be at the airport 2-3 hours earlier
than my scheduled flight, since it has always been (as far as I can see, I think
it is) the protocol even before.
2. There will be long wait and thorough
search at the check-in, so I must super extend my patience to the extent that I
must shut my mouth before I say any word that might be foul.
3. Wear simple, comfortable but presentable
clothes (from head to foot) to avoid hassle at the human metal-detector scanner.
Wearing complicated clothes takes time to be removed.
4. To carry one medium size luggage and a
hand carry one. Of course, I do not want to pay for the excess luggage it would
just be a deduction to my souvenir budget.
5. I’ll be seeing a lot of people, a crowd
possibly waiting for their scheduled flight. (Chance to spot a cutie! Hahaha)
6. Pretty and Handsome Flight Attendants (I
think it is a requirement) that will assist us and guide us.
7. The performance of the Flight Attendants
inside the plane. I have heard they do a special dance to entertain the
passengers. (I wish to witness this! Please please please)
8. Meet the pilot. I know it is impossible,
but all things are possible right? Oh God, give me the chance.
9. A good food inside the plane. But I wonder,
is it for free? I hope so.
10. The take-off feeling!
11. The ear-disturbing noise of the airplane. In
preparation with this issue, I am planning to chew a gum the entire ride or stuck
my earphones and play music as what others recommended to stop my ears from
popping.

12. Come across the white snow fluffy clouds.
Can I take a photo with them? I’ve heard mobile phones are not allowed but if I
place it on a flight mode would they allow?
13. The floating and flying-like feeling
amidst the air in the sky.
14. Bumps and curves during landing.
15. The memorable experience consisting of the
epic fail moments, embarrassing moments and happy moments during the entire
trip.
I am sure that this trip would be one
nostalgic experience that I would look back 5 or 10 years later. Because this
trip is not only a simple trip, but an extraordinary trip that I have with my
friends and classmates with all my first times.
